I think no one is helping you because those nutes are not really "organic". Maybe you should try posting in a different forum or just try reading a few posts. Many people have encountered the same problems before you, all you have to do is search for it.

iguana juice is fully organic i use it and my yields are as good or better than when i used chems it will burn some strains if you over doit it is rather concentrated.

go to the nute calculater on advanced nutreints website, cut the amounts in half to start with then work your way up...do some reserch for gods sake these answers are out there and easy to get...advanced nutes make it pretty easy

the dosage varies from strain to strain too little is easier to correct than too much believe me. i have damaged 2 uk cheeses quite badly where other strains are ok.

also lumens effect the amount of ferts that can be used if your outdoor in summer limitless lumens it is literally hard to overfert even with chems. if your doing a cfl grow it is easy to overfert the same strain it really is trial and error too little is easy to correct though. too much can kill quickly

the most important factor in how much food your plants can eat aside from light is co2 in the room around the plant.. the more co2 1800ppm is the best, the more nutes..
but strain and size all play a huge role..

Newboi - just look at the calculator and use it for the proportions. Don't necessarily follow the recipe exactly, scale it down to start off. So if it says to use 100mL of one thing and 150mL of another, start off at like 1/4th or 1/3rd strength. Keep them in the same proportions to each other, just at lower doses.

So like 25mL and 37.5mL and work your way up. It's easy to correct underfeeding, harder to fix overfeeding.


Strain, available light, available CO2, age, size, and a few other things all determine how much a plant can eat.

get a ppm pen, try nirvana and collasal bud from advanced you will be surprised no more then 800 ppm when watering unless they are 3 feet or bigger then you can go as high as 1600 with some almost 2000 ppm but get a ppm pen

I'm up for criticism and some elderly advice, but I don't see how I wouldn't lose yield, if all things are considered equal, but I can't use Big Bud. That stuff is wonderful, and I havn't been able to find anything, organic or otherwise, that works as well as Big Bud.
